Hi there,

Since I have skipped to take isotretinoin 20mg pill for a month.

Would like to concern,

1. Whether that it is still feasible for I to continue to take isotretinoin from this moment onward?

2. Do I have to start this treatment from beginning? (Worst case assumption is that isotretinoin completely left my body system.)

I have taken this treatment for almost a year and last time doctor told me that I have 6 months to go.
As today, I noticed that my nose is quite oily which I am sure the effect of isotretinoin has gone, somehow.

Well, I dun get the chance to travel to Penang just to visit dermatologist since I have still examination on-going. cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

How accutane works is it will accumulate in your body to prevent facial oil. I have to skip accutane for a month recently too due to lack of funds and I noticed oil on my face as well after so long. Just hope that by the time you resume the treatment you won't get too many new pimples.

Pimples no longer appear.

What I am worry is, whether I choose to continue taking this pill will be worthless if the accutane left my body completely?
